DATE: August 1, 2011
How far along: 39 Weeks!
Total Weight Gained: 9 lbs total, and that's making up what I lost. (Went down again.)
How big is baby? Nugget measures about 20 inches and weighs a bit over 7 pounds. (I'm going with more!)
How baby is growing: Nugget's waiting to greet the world! He/She continues to build a layer of fat to help control his/her body temperature after birth. babycenter.com
Maternity Clothes: I never wore maternity clothes. Regular pants and regular long shirts still fit perfectly.
Best Pregnancy Moment of the Week: Enjoying those final kicks and squirms inside of me.
Movement: Nugget is still very active, but is limited to squirming around and punching out feet, knees, and hands. My little kiddo has bony legs!
Food Cravings: I haven't had a single craving this pregnancy. I mainly eat fruit, salad, cereal, and sweets.
Food Aversions: Still a very long list.
Morning Sickness: I'm still taking Zofran everyday to control the morning sickness. I can't wait for it to end!
Gender: It's a surprise!
Symptoms: Tons of contractions, increased morning sickness, headaches, and pressure from the weight of the baby. Every time I stand up, I feel like he/she is going to push out!
Exercise: I've been running 2 miles/day 4-5 days a week since I was considered full term. I've been trying to convince Nugget to come out, but he/she won't budge! The only thing I'm getting out of it is bragging rights that I'm able to run at 39 weeks. I will admit that it's not very comfortable!
What I miss: Feeling comfortable and nausea-free!
What I'm looking forward to: Having this baby! I can't wait! Come on, Nugget!!!
39 Week Picture:
I never expected that I would be posting a 39 week picture!!!
You look simply incredible! I hate that you've been so sick and can't believe you are running! I can't get up the stairs without being out of breath!
ReplyDeleteYou are so beautiful! I can't believe it's almost baby time! Yippee!
ReplyDeleteYou look great!! So happy for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you to have this baby!! I can't wait to find out if it's a boy or girl! :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I can't believe you're running at 39 weeks haha. You're amazing!
Come on out Nugget we want to meet you
ReplyDeleteYou look totally great! XOXO
ReplyDeleteCome on Nugget!
ReplyDeleteOoo I like the black and white! Gorgeous! I'm so in awe that you are able to run still! You go girl!
ReplyDeleteWow! I never ran past 32 weeks - w/ my first - I had preeclampsia so they made me stop, and 20 weeks w/ the twins - since they were twins my doctor started getting nervous I was still running. Both times I was pretty uncomfortable, so I didn't put up a fight - I can't imagine running at 39 weeks! Come on Nugget!
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic! Im going to guess you're having a boy. Congratulations for making it to 39 weeks, too! My eldest was born August 9 and he has an amazing personality though I'm not sure that has anything to do with the sign you're born under.
ReplyDeleteAs for helping that baby come join the family a little faster, try stairs or walking up a great big hill! Worked fir me more than once!
You look amazing. Cant believe it's almost time for Nugget to arrive. And if you can run at 39 weeks pregnant I have no excuse for sitting on my lazy rear!
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute to be so far along! I know you are so excited for nugget to get here...only one week left!
ReplyDeleteYou look so great. I think the baby dropped since the post last week.
ReplyDeleteWow you look great for 39 weeks!! Can't wait to hear whether you have a boy or a girl... so exciting!!
ReplyDeleteI smiled reading your post. With my 2nd child I only gained a total of about 9 pounds. I was just so sick, not being able to keep food down. What's really funny is that after she was born, I still had a mommy tummy LOL. You look so happy in the photo :)
ReplyDeleteGosh! You can still run at 39th! Geesh I will and I must try that when I get pregnant again :) Good job! No wonder aside from that bulging tummy, you are still amazingly fit :) Anyways, hope you are having a great week and hoping to see nugget this week! :)
ReplyDeletehugs!
You're ALMOST there... you can make it!!! And you still look so thin!! LUCKY!
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo, so cute! Can't wait to me him/her!
ReplyDeleteJealous! You look absolutely beautiful! When I was pregnant I looked like a house! Of course I did have to carry 10lb babies, but still!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's just comfy in there for that little one, but I bet you are more than ready to meet him/her. Looking forward to the news! :)
You amaze me! The clock is really tickin' now. Put your feet up a bit and enjoy the end of the ride!
ReplyDeleteHang in there! You will all be worth it soon :)
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe that Nugget has not come out yet! I never expected to see you post a 39 week pic either. Again, I'm so sorry that you've had to go through so much. But in your picture, you look radiant. Sending easy, quick, painless labor vibes your way :)
ReplyDelete2 miles a day! You are amazing. Your would think nugget would take the hint, but she/he's probably very cozy in there.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you!
